Despite the historical growth Capoeira is experiencing, let’s be honest, there still isn’t enough Capoeira to go around! We hear from small groups everyday who are looking for more insight and help in their Capoeira training, and enthusiasts from cities all over the globe who would like to train Capoeira but don’t have a Capoeira school in their area. Experienced Capoeristas know there is so much to master in the art of Capoeira that they look to expensive travel and sparse web resources for help with instruments, tough acrobatics, or new strategies and Capoeira techniques that differ from their Capoeira school’s movement style. New instructors with little training find themselves teaching only because they are the most experienced in their area, and others want to learn new ways of teaching with fresh ideas and perspective. Well, we’re listening. LearnCapoeira.com is facilitating the desire of Capoeiristas all over the globe to have quality Capoeira training available to them when they want, where they live, and without limitation. This website is the result of careful listening to the questions and common frustrations of thousands of Capoeira students. It is a practical alternative to expensive event travel, helping you pick up new Capoeira techniques and strategies from your own home, on your own timeframe, for a fraction of the cost. After dozens of years of teaching Capoeira, we recognize what Capoeiristas need to take their game to a new level, and the LearnCapoeira.com team is thrilled to provide a global solution, via the internet, to help Capoeira enthusiasts worldwide get there.

We know there are lots of Capoeira videos on the internet, many of them free. But we also know they lack the quality in-depth instruction you'll find here. The Capoeira videos at LearnCapoeira.com are specifically designed to help you break down each movement step-by-step with the help of experienced instructors with dozens of years of teaching experience. We make learning Capoeira simple. Having taught hundreds of Capoeiristas, our team knows the mistakes most students make and questions they ask. In each video, you'll go over common mistakes to help you avoid the same pitfalls as everyone else and learn helpful hints to give you an additional advantage. You'll also get down-to-earth advice on when to use the movements and learn the principles behind the techniques so you understand the philosophy and context of each Capoeira move.

We also believe our videos should be entertaining! There are a plenty of instructional Capoeira videos out there with mundane, one-angle instruction centered on one teacher the entire length of the video, and many of them seem like they'd rather be lighting their shorts on fire than teaching into a camera. We're passionate about Capoeira. We not only want to you to enjoy Capoeira, but experience its energy—its movement, strategy, music, roda, culture, malicia, and axé. We do this by giving you in-depth instruction on individual Capoeira moves and strategies while you listen to the latest in contemporary Capoeira music and watch Capoeiristas from across the globe training and performing the moves. Our Video Training Center is designed to help you experience the art and the culture of Capoeira to help you learn to really play, not just do a couple of kicks and tricks.

Last, using video as an instructional medium provides several advantages. It means you can rewind and review Capoeira moves over and over. You can listen to the tips time and again and isolate each part of the movement step-by-step. We're also thrilled to be creating a Capoeira video history, an ongoing documentary of an art that continues to grow, an art that is still changing and evolving to fit new conditions and new cultures. In years to come, LearnCapoeira.com members will remember being the pioneers of an art form that will soon be a household name.

At LearnCapoeira.com, our goal is to constantly feed you with new insight so you are always stretching yourself, always making your movements more effective and your expression more authentic. Here's how we provide that for you:

• Learn Capoeira the way you want, when you want, with full access to an ever-growing collection of Capoeira training videos you can review and repeat as often as you need.
• Find what you want easily, as you browse Capoeira videos by category and sort by date, title, popularity, or level of difficulty.
• Save your favorites for easy access to the movements you're working on in your personal training regime.
• View member comments and videos, or post questions to get answers on Capoeira techniques or strategies from the LearnCapoeira team and other Capoeiristas across the globe.

Do you know a great way to train a variation of meia lua or a great sequence to set up vingativa? Share your knowledge by posting a video response under the respective Capoeira video. Like the Capoeira song says, “Sou aluno que aprende, e Mestre que da lição.” We are all students and teachers as we all work together to improve our games. Capoeira is evolving, the history is getting richer, the movements more innovative and the strategy more complicated. We want you to help us build an ever expanding documentary of contemporary Capoeira.
• Enjoy yourself! There are places you can go if you want mundane, one-angle, one-person Capoeira video instruction. But that’s not what we want for you. Experience the axé of Capoeira as you learn in-depth Capoeira techniques, strategies, and helpful hints taught by Mestrando Jamaika with footage of Capoeiristas from across the globe training and performing the moves. Get a glimpse of rodas across the world, and bring something new back to rodas where you play.
• Train on the beach, city, or right on Copacabana with your own background of choice. (Then when you really go to Copacabana, you'll feel right at home.)
• Listen to the latest in contemporary Capoeira music as you learn.
• Challenge yourself with new videos on individual movements, strategies, instrument instruction, roda etiquette, and more added regularly.
• Give us your feedback on movements or strategies you'd like to learn in upcoming Capoeira videos.

In case you haven’t guessed by now, we are Capoeira fanatics. We simply can’t get enough Capoeira and want to foster its growth both online and in existing Capoeira schools and organizations around the globe. So when we sat down to create a site, one of the things we were most excited about was providing a valuable and unifying resource to the Capoeiristas who already play. We know that one of the best ways to take your game to a new level is by traveling and interacting with other Capoeiristas. Taking seminars from guest instructors at batizados and filling your mind with new ideas, sequences, and applications of Capoeira moves you already know can infuse a new level of energy and creativity into your game. We thought, wouldn’t it be incredible if trading ideas with players from other cities or countries wasn’t something that happened only at an event, like a batizado, but rather was something going on every day, all the time, without breaking the bank on travel? Then when Capoeiristas did go to a batizado, rodas would be that much more dynamic. We wanted to connect Capoeiristas across the world so they could swap ideas at a faster rate, contribute to the creativity of local rodas, and have plenty of material to watch as they honed in on their own style and created their own expression. That’s why we’ve gone out of our way to secure footage from rodas across the world to add to our Capoeira training videos and fund innovative web development that could let our users share videos and conversations from any broadband-endowed place on the planet.

As long-time Capoeiristas, we also knew how difficult it can be to learn everything Capoeira has to offer in a one-hour Capoeira class. There is so much to learn in Capoeira in the form of music, acrobatics, roda etiquette and tradition, strategy, takedowns, counters, and so much more that doesn’t always get taught in class due to time constraints or varying levels of instructor capability in any one area of this multi-faceted art form. An instructor may be incredibly skilled at acrobatics, but less experienced in Capoeira music, which you’d like to learn more of. Or maybe you’d like more instruction in the powerful martial technique of each movement to use to your advantage in the roda. So why not gather mestres and instructors known for their strengths in each area to share their expertise online for everyone’s benefit? As we grow, we hope to include instruction from skilled Capoeiristas across the globe to provide players at every level a comprehensive resource to get a well-rounded training experience in the many facets of Capoeira, all on their own terms and schedule.

Finally, we've made it a point to include advanced movements in our Capoeira Video Training catalog as well as additional insight on application and strategy, geared to people who already play, to offer a new perspective on Capoeira moves you may already be familiar with. If you have a Capoeira move you'd like to see taught, contact us with your feedback, as we'll be creating new videos continually. Last, our service is priced affordably to complement current Capoeira schools' fees. You'll be able to supplement your current Capoeira training with unlimited access to dozens of personalized Capoeira video instruction all for a fraction of the cost of private lessons or event travel. Bottom line: even if you're already training Capoeira, we're confident you'll love and gain from LearnCapoeira.com.
